Poe Blog Hop

 January 19, 1809 was Edgar Allan Poe’s birth date.  Each year we celebrate his birthday at LeighSBDesigns annual Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Month and Mini Blog Hop!  It is a a much anticipated celebration of Poe and his literary works and this is the 10th year that Leigh has hosted the event!  A decade of Poe appreciation and fun!

Leigh has tons of Poe designs in her shop and has two brand new images added for 2025!  I used Raven Tree Slimline Silhouette on my little table top panel decoration!  I also used a paper from the Classic Poe Grunge Decorative Digi Paper Pack by Leigh for my background.  I added a strip of water color strokes behind the Raven Tree in Procreate to add my sentiment and added the background Poe Grunge paper enlarging it to get it to show the Raven Tree properly.  I used black soot Distress Ink on all the edges of the panel decoration before layering them up.  I borrowed Leigh’s POE-tastic hinge idea and cut mine out of the same black cardstock twice then attaching it to the back of the panel.
